Astronomical impacts by small solar system bodies (meteoroids, asteroids, comets, and transitional objects) are considered a mechanism for delivering amino acids and their polymerization to proteins in early Earth conditions. High-pressure…
Introducing hierarchical pore structure to microporous materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be beneficial for reactions where the rate of reaction is limited by low rates of diffusion or high pressure drop. This…
Many technologies based on cells containing alkali-metal atomic vapor benefit from the use of anti-relaxation surface coatings in order to preserve atomic spin polarization. In particular, paraffin has been used for this purpose for several…
Depth-resolved cathodoluminescence spectroscopy of atomically flat TiO2-terminated SrTiO3 single crystal surfaces reveals dramatic differences in native point defects produced by conventional etching with buffered HF (BHF) and an…
Structural lubricity arises typically at incommensurate, well-defined dry contacts where short-range elastic instability is significantly mitigated. However, under ambient conditions, airborne molecules adsorb onto solid surfaces, forming…
The experiment on the direct detection of antineutrino-electron scattering with an artificial tritium source allows to lower the present-day laboratory limit for the neutrino magnetic moment by two orders of magnitude. The experiment brings…
This study presents a comprehensive investigation into the exceptional superconducting attributes of titanium nitride (TiN) achieved through plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) on both planar and intricate three-dimensional (3D)…
We present an inductively coupled-plasma reactive-ion etching process that simultaneously provides both a high etch rate and unprecedented selectivity for gallium phosphide (GaP) in the presence of aluminum gallium phosphide…
This work studies the suitability of a set of different materials for manufacturing of more efficient and durable Radio-Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) structures compared to that currently used in many linear particle accelerators,…
Patterned graphene shows substantial potential for applications in future molecular-scale integrated electronics. Environmental effects are a critical issue in a single layer material where every atom is on the surface. Especially…
Observing solute hydrogen (H) in matter is a formidable challenge, yet, enabling quantitative imaging of H at the atomic-scale is critical to understand its deleterious influence on the mechanical strength of many metallic alloys that has…
The folding and structure of biomacromolecules depend on the 3D distributions of their constituents, which ultimately controls their functionalities and interactions with other biomacromolecules. Atom probe tomography (APT) with its…
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have received considerable attention as possible electrodes in Li-ion batteries (LIBs), although a deeper understanding of the Li adsorption behavior as well as broad screening of the materials space is still…
Electrochemical 3D printing of conductors with microscale resolution holds a great promise for a wide range of applications, but the choice of suitable metals for these technologies remains limited. Most efforts so far have been focused on…
Motivated by the need for less destructive imaging of nanostructures, we pursue point-source in-line holography (also known as point projection microscopy, or PPM) with very low energy electrons (-100 eV). This technique exploits the recent…
Titanium nitride (TiNx) films are ideal for use in superconducting microresonator detectors because: a) the critical temperature varies with composition (0 < Tc < 5 K); b) the normal-state resistivity is large, \rho_n ~ 100 $\mu$Ohm cm,…
Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) is now the primary tool for exploring functional materials on the atomic level. Often, features of interest are highly localized in specific regions in the material, such as ferroelectric…
This review work focuses on the milling process of titania (TiO2) nanopowder. TiO2 is a naturally available material. It is an inorganic semi-conducting oxide of titanium metal. Titanium oxide, titanium dioxide, and titanium (IV) oxide are…
The measurement of properties of exotic nuclei, essential for fundamental nuclear physics, now confronts a formidable challenge for contemporary radiofrequency accelerator technology. A promising option can be found in the combination of…
Nanoporous structures play a promising role in the development of nanomechanical, nanoelectrical and biosensing devices. In addition, nanopores can be utilized as chemical and gas sensors. TiO2 is a semiconductor material, which can have a…
